The DDs were what got Will to where he was. Joyce just dug it out. I think she might have a chance for Second Chance.
Not an outstanding game, but Will was strong, and Joyce hung in there best she could. My current hometown guy Michael kept taking one step forward and two backward.
Final was not tough, although you pretty much had to know where the famous fountain is and what river it’s on. There were some very gettable stumpers: the behind-bars advocate; the former Nike partner; the Steiger movie; and Arch St city.
When I was a college freshman long ago, an upperclassman invited Rod Steiger to campus for a couple of days. I saw him in the lobby of the journalism school building at one of his speeches. They showed several of his films. Great actor, should have won the Oscar for the Holocaust survivor role.
I highly recommend that Rod Steiger film the contestants haven’t seen to them and anyone else who hasn’t seen it. Rod Steiger was just an incredible actor.
P.S. The clue links to my review of that film and it has the movie trailer in there as well
Thanks very much for the link, VJ. I always love reading your reviews and I agree with you about Rod Steiger and the movie.
Thanks, Rhonda. I’m glad you enjoyed the review.
Thanks for editing my post. I momentarily forgot to omit the film’s name, then couldn’t go back to fix it. Steiger showed great acting range in that film and the two that followed.
No problem, Howard
Michael came so close to making it to FJ! but his attempt to get on the positive ended with an incorrect response on that last clue. He came so close though! But he will wind up automatically in third place and receive 2,000.
Had Michael not missed that $400 Colonial America clue at the very end he would’ve been around for FJ!
So this means Michael will be getting the automatic third place prize. Am I right?
Right. Michael’s final score was less than the other players in the positive amount. He scored badly and didn’t play Final Jeopardy, winding up in third place with a $2,000 consolation.
